Description
The World I Fell Out Of by Melanie Reid is a deeply moving and darkly funny memoir about survival and resilience. In 2010, at the age of 52, Melanie fell from her horse, breaking her neck and fracturing her lower back, leaving her paralysed from the chest down.
Spending almost a full year in hospital, Melanie was determined to regain movement in her limbs and navigate a world that had previously been invisible to her. As she worked towards this goal, she found solace in writing, using it as a lifeline on a spinal ward where she met others who were also struggling to cope with their new circumstances.
This powerful memoir is an account of Melanie's journey, both during and after her time in hospital, offering a wise and inspiring exploration of risk, dilemma, heroism, and love. It is a testament to the human spirit's ability to adapt and overcome adversity, and a reminder to appreciate what we have while we still can.
